Spec sheet
The wine
Corimbo is a very highly-regarded wine in top-end restaurants due to its quality and pleasantness. It encapsulates to perfection the countryside in the northern part of the Ribera del Duero, encompassing all its ancestry, and always with great finesse. An abundance of ripe black fruit and the oak very well integrated at all times, creating a serious and elegant wine.
What does this wine taste like?
A strong colour, a Picota cherry shade overall with dark red at the rim. It reveals an intense nose, brimming with red and black fruit (cherries and blackberries). It has great expressivity, bringing to mind aromatic plants and the smell of pine groves after rain. The creamy oak is very well-integrated, letting the fruit and the countryside show through. It has plenty of volume, mouth-filling, giving a sensation of fullness with every sip.

Drinking and storing
Tannins are present when it’s first released, but of very good quality and bring necessary structure to a wine that’s fresh and elegant, ready for immediate enjoyment but also with a long life ahead.
